Most-quoted passages
The sentences later courts lift from this opinion, ranked by how many decisions quote each — the parts of the opinion doing the work. These counts are smaller than the citation total above because most of the 3 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“In these days of heightened judicial and public scrutiny at each step in the criminal justice process, such a procedure seems to us to invite challenges such as the one [made in Mackey's case]. We cannot say that, in the future, questions of substance will not arise concerning state attorney qualification of jurors which may dictate a result different than that reached here. It should always be remembered not only that criminal proceedings must be fair, in fact, they must appear to be fair.... An imagined advantage on one side or the other in a criminal proceeding can be as destructive of the integrity of the process as can a real advantage.”
